There are many ways to celebrate Litha and the Summer Solstice. You can spend time with loved ones, sing, dance, laugh, and watch the sunrise. Spend some time outside in nature. If you can, and it’s safe to do so, light a fire or a fire pit.
Create a circle or wheel out of stones or sticks. Start with a centre stone. Then mark the changing seasons North and South (Winter and Summer Solstice) and East and West (Spring and Autumn Equinoxes). Then mark the cross points in between (NE, SE, SW, and NW) to represent other key times throughout the year – Imbolc (February), Beltain (May), Lammas (August) and Samhain (Halloween). Ponder on what each direction means to you.
Whatever you do, make sure to enjoy the quiet moments and take in all that nature has to offer, and enjoy the sun while it’s still warm!
